You can manually update routing tables, but as long as there are other routers looking at that link, it will be routed around. To the proposed scenarios above, true, shutting down the whole country’s infrastructure would have the desired effect; but that would hamper their own efforts, and the bloggers could use satellite uplinks to escape the Iranian routing network entirely (assuming it’s not an Iranian-owned satellite that’s being linked to).

Re the satellites: earlier today there were tweets that the police was systematically destroying satellite dishes in Tehran.
